Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objectives of this study are to assess whether 80 mg ixekizumab every 2-week (Q2W) is: 1. noninferior to ustekinumab at Week 12 in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, as measured by proportion of patients achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90, and then 2. superior to ustekinumab at Week 12 in the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, as measured by proportion of patients achieving PASI 90 ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are to assess whether ixekizumab is superior to ustekinumab at the study visits in the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis as measured by: -proportion of patients achieving a =75% improvement in PASI (PASI 75), a =90% improvement in PASI (PASI 90), and a 100% improvement of PASI (PASI 100) from baseline -proportion of patients with an static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) (0,1) with at least a 2-point improvement from baseline -proportion of patients achieving an sPGA (0) (remission) -proportion of patients achieving dermatology-specific quality of life index (DLQI) (0,1) -proportion of patients reaching Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) responder definition (decrease of 4 points in the Itch NRS in patients with baseline score =4 points) -change from baseline in Itch NRS -change from baseline Skin Pain visual analog scale (VAS) ;Primary end point(s): Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 response (at least a (=)90% improvement in PASI score from baseline) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): PASI 100, PASI 90, PASI 75, Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA), Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI), Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI), Palmoplantar Psoriasis Severity Index (PPASI) Body Surface Area (BSA) percentage involvement of psoriasis, Additionally the following Patient Reported Outcome Measures: Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Skin Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Short Form (36-item) Health Survey, Patient’s Global Assessment of Disease Severity, Work Productivity Activity Impairment questionnaire – Psoriasis (WPAI), and European Quality of Life – 5 Dimensions 5 Level + Bolt On (EQ 5D 5L);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks
